ZWO camera settings do not allow changing target temperature.
Issue #166
resolved
Target temperature for my ZWO cameras is stuck on -20c. I can not change it. even if I enter new target temps.
This is with the latest hot release of 1.8

I hope I am doing it wrong! Let me try it that way.

I just tested it and it works as you described. Perhaps a more obvious button might help... Just a suggestion. I have found a few interface options that are not obvious that they are areas to enter or edit content or are actually buttons to click.
Glad this is not an issue. Thanks for the quick response.

Ok, I figured that's what you were encountering. The intention of that button is to let someone set up the setpoint and desired cooling duration, and then activate cooling by hitting that button. I agree, while the action might make sense, it's not very obvious from a UI point of view. I'm weighting just removing that button altogether.

@Isbeorn brought up a good point in that some cameras don't react well to rapidly-changing cooler setpoints, so the button exists so that the user moves it to the desired setpoint, and then only that setting is sent to the camera by hitting the button. This still could use some improvement as I don't feel it's entirely intuitive.

Not an issue.
We will re-evaluate UI to get it more intuitive.

Hi Ezra. Just to confirm, the set point does not change after adjusting the temperature setpoint slider and pressing the thermometer button below to activate the new setpoint?
